No, not really. You picked a poor analogy. You can't "choose to" smoke anywhere in crowded public spaces. You are prevented from smoking in public buildings of any kind. You're choice to poison yourself in your own home, in your car or far from me outside but not in any store or restaurant or airport or theater or movie or bar or men's room or ladies room or doctors office or hospital or dog pound or bakery and many other places where your smoking could harm others. Smoking is far more limited than the courtesy of wearing a mask when in those same places to protect others. So while you have the choice to smoke your choice to smoke inside public places is virtually non-existent. SUCH TYRANNY!
